#CinematicTitanic
#SantaClausConquersTheMartians
#TheGrifters
#TheWizardOfOz
#WhenHarryMetSally
Because even at Christmas time I watch and talk about bad films, this time #SantaClausConquersTheMartians. #CultClassic
As for Joel and the bots? They sing us out with a hymn, show what everybody got in their stockings, including a viewer letter for Joel, and the MADS doing their own Gift of the Magi. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
Santa and the others win, Droppo becomes Mars's Santa, everybody goes home and the experiment ends with one last hurray for Santy Claus. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
The evil Martians wrecked the machine to warp the toys by things like switching dolls head, giving the end of a tennis racquet on the end of a baseball bat...
...you just know 60's kids went "AWESOME" on that last one. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"Take him out, now..." For those wondering why the crew seems so mean to Droppo...turns out behind the scenes, everybody wanted to hurt the guy. Mike Nelson even wished he had Droppo dolls to burn while working on this. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
In an effort to teach the Bots how to be more human and live on Earth, Joel encourages them to write essays about Christmas. Crow's about Santa needing to get with the times. Tom's on the other hand...

"My finger isn't tired!"
CROW: "Look out, now!" Yes, folks, TV wasn't afraid to go there once. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"We're not interested in Earth programs..." Turns out when you yoink kids from their home, kids don't wanna have fun. Who'd a thunk? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"What'd you find out!?" Well, some of us work quite a bit after this movie...in fact, the director here is a guy who directs news segments for TV! Hey, I made that face too when I saw that! #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"When I call my captain, I touch myself!" Glad the divinyls fixed that... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"Now, now, children, let's not get excited." It's just our slow and painful deaths in 60 seconds, what's the problem? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
It turns out stealth? Not a Martian thing as after almost taking Santa, the world knows they took Santa, so it's time to call the world's finest stock footage to bring him back! #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"How are you gonna hurt him with a hair dryer?" ...have you felt the heat from those things!? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
Tom and Crow complain about the movie, but Joel has good news: He tricked Frank to send 'em better movies including Frosty, Rudolph, Charlie Brown..then the bad news: Frank also sent the remakes like It Happened One Christmas. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
So, the budget for this thing was $200,000...
Joel: "Oh, they shot this in Minnesota in October."
I'd sooner buy Making Mr. Right was the actual $9 million it said it's budget was.

The martians sees multiple people dressed as Santa and decide that the Earth won't miss one...only for the Army to take notice the minute they get taken. Whoops. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
The wisest man on Mars makes it clear: Yoink Santa and bring him here or risk your kids becoming mindless zombies in front of a screen.
Unrelated, how's Timmy's new iPhone? #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
Yeah, and I'm just "Borrowing" this gag from the Nostalgia Critic. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"Where are they?"
"Uh...watching Earth programs..." Wait until he sees the invention of reality TV... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"Is there truth to the rumor that you're using a rocket sled?" Ho, ho, ho, I made a deal with Ford to promote their Pinto, son, I can't see anything wrong with this. #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"At this very moment, KID-TV..." ...just gonna assume they're based on that side of the Mississippi and not ask how light speed goes that fast... #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
And to show how Joel and The bots were...Joel and The Bots with their invention: Left overs from the Island of Misfit Toys, including Roadhouse the board game, EZ Bake Foundry, and Gypsy (Later GPC) barfing Mr. Mashed Potato Head. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
Or to put it in modern terms: In goes Sonic Frontiers, out comes Sonic Forces. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
To show how evil the MADS were back in the day, Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank have invented the Wish Squisher: A machine that turns your awesome gift into the one your Aunt with the funny eye keeps giving. #MST3K #SantaClausConquersTheMartians
"I'm reminded of a true joy of a New England Christmas..." ...just what did Joel program Tom with, anyway?
"I wanna decide who lives and who dies!"
...or Crow...
